VAUXHALL GARDENS.. ASCENT OF THE NEW BALLOON WITH Nwt PER oft"I s • — On no previous occasion in the annals of aerostat " has public curiosity been so strongly excited as on till 4 Al .he ascent of the stupendous" Royal Vauxhall 1, / alloon," which took place yesterday from the hbove fashionable liardens. Although the price of admission had been in cteased to half-a-crown long b e f ore th e d oors were opened, which w as not until ha I f - past one o'clo c k, a l arge num b er ofpersons were in waiting for admission. On the doors being thrown open, the balloon, of which a description has eittair.ea,dy a ppeared, w as f ound to be already two-thirds in e!lea, the process, having from the extra o rdin ar y s i ze o f th e ma gcommenced as early as ten o'clock About o'clock a sudden change took place in the . weather, bantl nd from that hour until past four o'clock it rained ince,- ; but the ardour of the lovers of aerostatics appeared they flocked into the Gardens regardless of the " pelting of Zvthe pitiless storm," many elegantly-dressed women not r en, Ppening their parasols to shield them from the rain, hrt__le,,r:ef_obscuring their view of the balloon. Shortly alt er n to four o'clock a favourable change appeared on pare late of the heavens, at which time it became ap ut the inflation was nearly completed, the balloon hay- I r n _g assumed the form of an immense pear. About half-past asti r o'clock, the rain having subsided, preparations for the :cent were commenced ; they, however, occupied nearly twio hours, the power of the balloon several times raising arge party of the L division of police, who had hold of the netting, from the ground, notwithstandin g near t hi rty Stupend ous aa-hundred weight% were also attached by ro p es t o th e nobility mach!ine.

Malta Gazette. k PORTUGAL► I . l.—There have been several instances kli`s s Curbances and outrilgZ; upoh life and property, in the provinces lately ; indeed, the accounts published by the or gans of all parties, concur in evincing the unsatisfactory state in which society is placed, It may be easily supposed that much must depend in this, as in most countries, upon the feeling of the Church, Now, the suppression of the convents, and an alienation of so large a portion of Church property, arc looked upon by A large body of .persons here as nothing short of spoliation and saerilege. Thy poor used to be supplied %.kiith soup and Othdr food tt the expense of these religious establiShnie4tt, and their suppression has created a great deal or additional suffering, particularly in the provinces, on this head. In Lisbon, mcndicity asylums, 701',1 o th er charitable institutions, may somewhat mitigate these evils ; but in the provinces they cannot have the same source of relief, and it cannot be expected that persons so situated can be easily convinced of the advantages of that state of things which comes to them accompanied by des titution, and to those to whom they have been wont to look up, with what they are taught to consider as confisca tion and robbery. This state of things is one which is no less fraught with danger to the Government than it is with injustice to the present sufferers. Miguelisun may be ostensibly put down, and its organs may be compelled to dissemble their opi nions ; but they cannot be prevented from exposing, and they vvill:naturally be disposed to exaggerate, the evils which the changes that have taken place and an unsettled state of society may engender. The Eeco, a Miguelite paper published here twice a week, together with extracts from the few Carlist advocates of the English, French, and Spanish Press, contains a good allowance of such notices as the following, which are taken from its number of the 18th : LISBON.—" From the 24th July, 1834, there have died in the Hospital of San Jose alone 183 individuals belong ing to the regular and secular clergy, who had no other means of procuring relief than those afforded by the hospital." " Atrocidades em Setubal.—A few days before the Libe ral expedition left this place the house of Jorge de Cabedo, &c., First Baron Zambujal, was broken open and plun dered. His crime was his having been a Royalist and hav ing received the title of Viscount." I may here notice that there is a new journal now pub lished, of Miguelite tendency, and his name is one of ra ther ominous import—The Trombeta Universal. It hap pened that a Journal of the same name was published in 1823, and again in 1828, in both cases coming out just be fore the breaking up of the Constitution, and its present promoters are desirous of availing themselves of these re collections, saying, in their first Number, published on the 16th, that the blast of their Trumpet had always been a dreadful one, and would always continue to be so. This journal is always published twice a week ; in its second and third Numbers it contains an article headed " 0 Dia de Juizo" (the Day of Judgment), the object of which is, by means of a dialogue between the living and the dead, to denounce the proceedings adopted with respect to the Church and Absolutist party. I quote the following as showing the spirit in which it is written . " Question : Is there any article in the Charter which decrees that the rights of life and of property should, in any case, cease to be respected ? " Answer : No ; quite the contrary. " Q. Upon what article of the Charter, then, are founded those public assassinations which take place every hour of the day all over the kingdom, and the general, spoliation of the religious orders of all the goods which ancient dotations had conferred upon them? " A. We know no law for it, except the law of the strongest," &c. &c. It must be acknowledged that the press of this country is perfectly unfettered, and its violence is certainly often without bounds. The two Absolutist papers I have noticed. The Ultra-liberals have the Nacional and Portuguez Con stitutional daily papers, and the Movimento, a weekly jour nal. The Diario, Revista, and Independente daily journals support the Government. Nor is Lisbon without its jour nals of the stamp of your Age and Satirist. The Raio (Thunderbolt) lampoons the chief members of the Opposi tion three times a week, and the Toureiro (Bull-fighter) performs the same good office on those in authority at the same intervals. It must be allowed, therefore, that, to the fullest extent. " the press is free." I may observe that the Portuguese papers generally confer a title of nobility upon all the captains of the ves sels belonging to the Royal Yacht Club. Thus we have had here within a short period, " Lord Charles Smith," and " Lord Dyke Ackland," who have not yet, as I am aware, taken their seats upon the benches of the House of Lords. The Endynzio7t frigate came into the river yesterday from Corunna. AUGUST 26.—The affairs of Spain seem rather to puzzle our journalists. The Portuguez Constitucional which at first applauded the popular movements, is now furious in its attacks upon the Ministerial organs for their acquies cence in the changes that have occurred. The Becista of this day contains a copy of the new com mercial treaty (which has been submitted to the Legislature of Brazil) between that country and Portugal. It contains the usual enactments with respect to reciprocal rights of navigation, establishment of consuls, &c. The following clauses are those which will principally interest other powers, whose relations with these countries will thereby undergo a material change : Article 10. " All the goods, merchandize, and articles of whatever kind, of the production, manufacture, and in dustry of the subjects and territories of her Most Faithful Majesty, imported directly either from her European ports or those of her colonies, by vessels either Portuguese or Brazilian, to whomsoever they may be consigned, and in tended for the consumption of Brazil, shall pay one-third part less of duties on entry than are actually paid or may be hereafter paid by the most favoured nations, according to the valuation put upon them by the Tariff which shall be published in all the ports of the empire, where there are or may be custom-houses." Art. 11. (Gives the same advantages to the goods and products of Brazil over those of all other countries when imported in Portuguese or Brazilian vessels, for consumption in Portugal). "It being moreover understood, that if, hereafter, any diminution of the duties levied on the goods of any other nation, imported into the dominions of either of the contracting powers, should take place, it should be equally conceded to the subjects of the present high con tracting Powers, notwithstanding the favour conceded by the present treaty. Article 12 declares that where the respective tariffs of the two countries do not happen to have affixed any deter minate value to goods imported from the one into the other, the declaration of the importer shall be sufficient proof of their value, the custom-house officers having the right, in case they should be dissatisfied with this valuation, of taking the goods themselves by paying ten per cent. above the declared value to the importer, within 15 days, and returning the duties. I mentioned in a former letter the subject of British claims upon this Government, and the difficulties thrown in the way of any satisfactory adjustment. It is stated by the Revista that during the period which has elapsed since the present Ministers entered upon office (about four months), 3,400 contos, or 800,0001. sterling, have been paid by the treasury. The same journal men tions and defends the payment of the Duke of Wellington's pension, which has been made the subject of virulent attacks by the Opposition journals. These statements may, how ever, be perfectly correct, without affording the least satis faction to the numerous British claimants here, who are un able to obtain payment of their debts. AUG. 27.—The Independente has begun to publish a memoir, which a Spanish commissioner - appointed to in quire into the state of the navigation of the Douro has put forth, respecting the commerce of Portugal with Spain. The writer seems to attribute the low state into which the industry and trade of this country has fallen to British con nection, in which he is not at all singular, for the common practice of all parties agrees pretty much in that respect. The cause of all this ill-feeling against England seems to be, that the country being exhausted by a continued series of unfortunate events, and every species of industry at a low ebb, as must be the case where there is a general want of confidence and feeling of instability, instead of applying themselves to settle their own domestic squabbles and re animate their drooping industry, they prefer the shorter method of throwing the blame of their situation on other parties ; and as England is the nation which has given Por tugal the most assistance, she, according to the mode in which benefits arc returned here, comes in very naturally for the largest share of their abuse. It is expected that the Corteg will meet on the 11th of next month (the time appointed by the last decree.) A notice has been published ia the Diario that the steamer Terceira will remain at Oporto till the 9th, in order to convey to Lisbon such of the Deputies as may choose to avail themselves of it. The elections for the islands have not yet been made known, and the question of a majority in the Chamber is therefore still a doubtful one. At any rate, it is obviously the most prudent plan for Ministers to meet the Cortes and propose their measures ; indeed, with the spectacle before their eyes of recent events in Spain, a further postponement at this time might lead to some se rious catastrophe. Senor Isturiz, the late Prime Minister of Spain, is now here, and is about to proceed to England. Lord Seaford (Lord Howard's father) arrived on the sth by the /Manchester, on a visit to his Excellency. The Duke of Brunswick, in consideration of the situation of the family of Mrs. Graham under the circumstances of the late calamity, has presented her with 1001. Count d'Acetg has left New Norfolk -street on a tour. PALACE COURT.-FRIDAY. ittiLltt% v. rtttCitEli. Mr. COLLET!' stated that the present action was brought by the indorsee of a bill of eNchatigd for 2.51., drawn by a person named Nicholson, and accepted by the defendant (a female), who pl•mded in bar to the action, first, a co verturei and secondlyi that no consideration had been given for the hill. Mr. GAZELEE, defendant ' s counsel, adaiitted flee ac. ceptance to be the defendant's. The Learned Counsel however contended that. his client Was not legally liable for this act of hers, as he should prove that, although she had been separated ftem her husband several years, yet that he (the husband) was living when the present action was brought. Mr. J. Richardson, a person of most fashionable ap pearance, and dressed in the first style of elegance, had hired several splendid apartments and houses, in Park lane, and other places at the west end of the town for the defendant, who he supposed to be a widow up to the time of this action bein g brought. Afterwards, however, she in formed him that her husband was living, and at her request he went down to Manchester, and obtained from the Col legiate Church in that town, the certificate of marriage, which he then produced. The Judge (- KNOWLES, Esq.), said it was not ne cessary to prove the marriage, in actions of this kind ; it was sufficient for it to be shown that the alleged husband and the defendant lived together as man and wife, and held themselves out as such to the world. _ . _ Mr. Richardson, in his cross-examination, said he was managing clerk to Mr. Henson, solicitor, of Chancery-lane. Mr. COLLETT (with surprise)—You, Sir, managing clerk to a solicitor ? Witness—Yes ; and I frequently lend Mr. Henson money to carry on his business. Mr. COLLETT—Why, have you not yourself recently taken the benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act? Wit ness—Yes, about three years since. The COURT—What was the amount of your debts at that time ? Witness—Somewhere about 8,000/. The COURT—Have your creditors been since paid ? Witness—No ; or otherwise I should have talm my schedule off the file. The COURT—How much money of yours had your em ployer at a time ? Witness—Twenty, twenty.five, or thirty pounds, as he might require. The COURT—Do you not know, Sir, that this money belongs to your creditors ? Witness—l intend to pay all my bona fide creditors. On the witness's further cross-examination by Mr. COL LETT, he said that he had heard of a person of the name of Coster. He had had the misfortune to be indicted for a conspiracy with John Minter Hart. He was tried with Hart in the Court of King's Bench, and acquitted. He had taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act twice. The COURT—You say that you are now an attorney's clerk, you certainly have not been in that capacity all your life ? Witness—No : I started in life as a gentleman. A witness named Rodolph knew the defendant at the time she was living with her husband, a surgeon, at Man chester, in 1824, 1823, and 1826. Her husband, about 1826, eloped with a female servant. He was subsequently obliged by the parish authorities to allow the defendant 1/. per week for her maintenance. Saw Mr. Fletcher, de fendant's husband, and supped with him not a month since. Another witness deposed to the defendant being a mar ried woman, but in his cross-examination he said that he was of opinion she had not lived with her husband for some years. Mr. CoLLETT, in reply, contended that if such a de= fence as the present was to avail no tradesman would be safe. For years the defendant had made purchases, taken splendid houses and apartments, and never until the pre sent action was brought had she ever hinted that her hus• band was living. The JUDGE, in summing up, said the only question the Jury had to decide was, whether they believed the defers• (lanes husband was living at the time the action was brought. If they were of that opinion, it could not be maintained. The Jury, after some deliberation, returned a verdict for the defendant. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT......LANCANTICR, Serr. 7. DOE DEM. TATHAM V. WRIGHT. Some interest was: created to-day by the fact becoming generally known that Mr. Wordsworth and Mr. Southey were to be examined, as also the Earl of Derby. The Court was filled from the hour of opening, a large propor tion of those present being ladies. Mr. Wordsworth being palled, Mr. CRESWELL proceeded to ask his opinion of the composition of some of Mr. Mars den's letters. Sir F. PoLLocx rose and objected to the question. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE had great doubts as to the pro priety of the question, and suggested that it should be withdrawn. Mr. Wordsworth then retired in company with Mr. Southey, having first paid his respects to the Learned Judge and Lady Coleridge. . The Earl of Derby was then examined—His Lordship said, I was a candidate for the county of Lancaster in 1818. I called on some of the electors, but not all. I called at Hornby Castle, and saw Mr. Wright and Mr. Marsden. Mr. Wright entered the room first, and Mr. Marsden came in after. I went accompanied by Mr. Wilson Freeman and Colonel Houghton. On Mr. Marsden coming in I bowed, and said I came to solicit the honor of his vote. He looked at Mr. Wright, and bowed. Mr. Wright then left the room to order refreshments, and in his absence I tried to engage Mr. Marsden in conversation, but totally failed. He only responded by courteous ges ture. Mr. Wright returned, and I said I came to solicit the honor of Mr. Marsden's vote. Mr. Wright said, look ing at Mr. Marsden, I am sure he will be happy to do any thing. Mr. Marsden merely bowed. I again endeavoured to engage Mr. Marsden in conversation, but he only bowed, and did not speak. Mr. 'Wright appeared to be master of the house. Alexander Nowell, Esq., of Underley Park, near Kirby Lonsdale, and who once represented the county of West moreland in Parliament, was acquainted with Mr. Marsden 'from 1807 or 1808 till 1815 or 1816. He once dined at Hornby Castle, and saw him eight or ten other times. And from circumstances which the witness detailed, he considered Mr, Marsden had no mind whatever, and that he was worse than Lord Portsmouth. About five o'clock the Court adjourned till nine to-mor row morning. MIDDLESEX ADJ OURNED SESSIONS. SimOn Conncll and his mother were indicted for an as sault on a blind man, named Charles Wood. All the par ties were the keepers of houses of disreputable character in King-street, Drury-lane. On the 19th of July the blind man went to look after his lodgers, when a dispute ensued. The blind man was knocked down and trampled upon. The whole street was in an uproar, and divided into two parties ; and it was clearly proved by the evidence of a boy who was present, that the prisoners took a prominent part in the action. The Jury found the prisoners Guilty. Simon Connell vas sentenced to be imprisoned one month, to be fined one shilling, and ordered to find sureties to keep the peace. His mother was also fined one shilling, and ordered to find sureties for her future good conduct. The COURT was occupied in hearing a number of cases of assault, arising out of what arc called " Irish rows," in which a verdict of Not Guilty was returned in almost every case, the swearing being equal on either side. Additional affidavits were put in against certain notorious gamblers and keepers of gaining-houses. The COURT rose at five o'clock. DEPTFORD PETTY SESSIONS. Yesterday Johnson and 1 Vaters, two private soldiers bc longint,'' to the 3d or Scotch Fusileer Guards , were pla ced at the bar, charged by Mr. Bury, a respectable gentleman residing in Bermondsey, with having robbed him, on Wed nesday night last, of twenty sovereigns and four half so vereigns, on the Lower-road, betwen Bermondsey and Deptford. Evidence having been heard, the prisoners were fully committed to take their trial at the nest sessions of the Central Criminal Court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A man with but one eye, name Thomas Quigley, and Muria Smith, a female well known for her persevering qualities as a petition bearer, were brought before the Lord MAYOR by the officers of the Mendicity Society, charged with having scoured several streets in the city in quest of prey. • Quigley—l have not been begging, nor assisting the lady to beg, but was merely sheaving her the way to the several addresses she had to go to, and I have fought and bled for my King and country. It is a shame that a man who has seen service should be exposed to this sort of treatment, The Lord MAYOR—Very good. And what has the lady to say? I suppo'se she knows nothing about you, and was merely shewing you the way to the places you had to call at. _ _ _ The female prisoner said that she had seen so much bet ter times than the present, that she actually paid 3851. a year rent and taxes. The LORD MAYOR—Is this man your h us b an d? Fe male prisoner—No ; my husband ha s b een un f ortuna t e , avid I can't let anybody know where be is.

The LORD MAYon committed each to Brilewell for three months. GUILDHALL. Yesterday Williamßlaaburn, was brougl:t before Mr. Alderman KELLY for re-examination, charged with admi nistering a quantity of tincture of cantharides to Hannah Mary Turner for a vile purpose. The prisoner was remanded only to ascertain whether he was sane, and a certificate was now put in signed by the visiting surgeon of the Compter, that he was quite sane. Mr. Turner, the father of the girl, stated that since the last hearing he had exhibited the remains of the draught at Apothecary's Hall, and when he told them that the pri soner admitted that he had administered two table spoons ful to his daughter, he was told that it was enough to kill a horse ; that the proper dose was 20 to 30 drops, and that it would not be sold to any person at that place, except under the direction of a medical gentleman that it was proper the party should have it. Mrs. Turner said her daughter had become worse since the last examination, and was not able now to leave the house. Mr. Alderman KELLY, in consequence of the unavoidable absence of Miss Turner, must defer committing the prisoner, who was remanded till Wednesday next. HATTON-GARDEN. John Beckett, an eccentric, ordinary-looking fellow, was brought up, charged by a police-constable of G division, with having created a disturbance. The constable stated that on Thursday afternoon the prisoner was in John-street, Clerkenwell, with his face blackened, a large red cap, covered with ribbons, on his head, and dancing in a sack, which caused an assemblage of several hundred persons. He was divested of his habili ments, and taken to the station-house. The prisoner, who is an elderly man, screwed up a pecu liarly comic face, and putting his hands together, in a sup plicating attitude, cried, and said, " I'll be a good boy ; I'll never do so any more." Mr. LAING asked wiled - ar he was known ? Wadding ton had known him about the town for a number of years. He was in the habit of reciting scraps from King Richard the Third, dancing, singing, and tumbling in the streets for halfpence, and passengers encouraged him. Prisoner—Yes, I plays Richard—l sings, and I dances ; oh! let me go, I'll be a good boy, and never do so any more.—(Laughter.) Mr. LAING said whatever his antics might be he was not to disturb the public peace, and he ordered him to find bail. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday Robert Dyer, alias Smith, the driver of the cab No. 1192, was placed at the bar before Mr. Shutt, charged with having enticed away and carried off Louisa Hull, a pretty interesting girl, only 15 years of age, the daughter of respectable parents, residing at No. 19, Bar rett's-court, Oxford-street. The father of the girl, who appeared deeply affected at the event, stated that for sonic time past his daughter had enjoyed a comfortable situation in the family of Mr. Smith, Chapel-place, Oxford-street. On Tuesday evening last she obtained leave to visit Bartholomew Fair, but as she did not return home that night the greatest uneasiness was felt for her safety. Complainant on being informed of the absence of his daughter, in a state of mind bordering on distraction, proceeded to make inquiries after her, when he learned that she had been seen in the fair with the prisoner and another man of the same, fraternity, who afterwards drove her about town in one of their vehicles. Com plainant prosecuted his search after the fugitive in the most unremitting manner, and on the previous eve ning he found her on Westminster bridge, waiting for the prisoner by appointment, who shortly afterwards made his appearance, and was given in charge of police constable 51 D, who conveyed him to the station, while his daughter was taken back to her situation, but her mis tress refused to receive her, in consequence of her long ab sence (three nights), and he was fearful that her prospects in life were completely ruined. The complainant further stated, that the other ruffian, who is the driver of the cab No. 713, had been seen by him on the stand in Oxford street, but he drove off and escaped as soon as he was perceived. In answer to questions put to the girl by Mr. SHUTT, it appeared that though the cabmen had used the most seduc tive arts to prevail upon her to stay with them, instead of going back to her situation, they had not, however, used any force in detaining her. Mr. SHUTT regretted that the law did not empower him to punish the prisoner as he deserved, inasmuch as it was a voluntary act of misconduct on the part of the girl. 'The prisoner,was accordingly discharged. QUEEN- S QUARE. Yesterday a girl thirteen years of age, named Susan Norman, was charged before Messrs. WHITE and Bun, RELL, with taking from the person of Rose Samuels, a girl of eleven years, a necklace. The Magistrates inquired if the girl was well known to the police ; and Inspector Taylor, of the B division, said she was not, but that she had, as he understood, borne an excellent character in the neighbourhood where she lived, and that both her father and mother were honest, hard working people. The Magistrates said, that if the pawnbroker would consent to give up the property, and the complainant did not wish to enter further into the charge, some arrange ment might be made. Mr. Williams very willingly acceded to the humane sun.- gestion of the Bench, as did the complainant, and the girl, after a severe admonition from the Magistrates, was or dered to be discharged. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Herr Donderent Von Lowentritt, better known to the cognoccnii of Europe as the .‘ Merman," or the " Won derful Aquatic Pedestrian," presented himself before Mr. CONANT yesterday, to complain of having been robbed in Leicester-square of 12/., by a young land nymph the over night. • The Inspector told the Magistrate he had great diffi culty in understanding Herr Lowentritt, but be had con trived to pick out of his piebald English that while walking through Leicester-square in search of a secure lodging, the ' complainant had been accosted by a brace of those accom modating ladit's who promenade that spot, and politely so licited to join their company. Considering his fair inviters as a couple of " mermaids" and from his nautical remi niscences very much disposed to believe that in such matters the "perils on land" were not a whit less formidable than " perils at sea," he repelled their advances resolutely, and obliged them to look after other " loose fish." Observing that they suddenly scampered off, a suspicion crossed his mind, and clapping his hand on his pocket he discovered that his money had been stolen. He made capital use of a pair of short legs, and contrived to come up with the women just as they were entering a private house. He waited patiently at the door for opine time, and when one of them, the person whom he most susp:!!!.ted, ventured out, -he gave her into custody. The aquatic pedestrian, a very little man, with (cativo almost hidden by whiskers and mustaehios,pulled out a long bill, and presented it to Mr. CONANT. From the contents, it appeared that Herr Lowentritt was one of those witty personages whose e onderful genius wail destined to work organic changes, overturn dynasties, and heat otcam and railroad results hollow, He promised on Thursday next to display to the " nobility, gentry, and public," who , chose to take a five shilling ticket for an excursion up the river, the whole a r t o f walking on the water. He would, with 3O feet of pure element under him, go through the sword and pistol exercises, -cook and eat his breakfast, brew his own toddy, smoke his cigar, and quaff a bumper in honour of the wooden walls of old England. Afterwards be would make it quite clear that, by his system, it was practicable for a single soldier, with his luggage, or an entire army, heavy artillery excepted, to bivouack in the middle of the Atlantic, without one man either getting cold or getting wet. In case of doubt, the sceptical were invited to inspect innumerable testimonials from the crowned heads of Aus tria, Russia, and France ; the Universities and Polytechnic Institutions of Europe ; and the parochial authorities of Putney. Mr. CONANT, having looked at the paper, asked the " aquatic pedestrian" if he thought it practicable to walk from DoVer to Calais ? Ach ! said Herr Lowentritt, with a shrug, datis my grand secret vat I nose. De Ernpereur of de Austria, de Empereur of de Russians, and de Empe reur of de Frens, alvay vant my secret, and nobody vii nevare know vat .dey gif me for say someting—but no, no (nodding his head facetiously), I keep it all for the great Englis publique, vot sal come to my excursion on Tursday. Mr. CONANT—TeII, as well as you can, how the prisoner got possession of your money ? Aquatic Pedestrian—l vas get 12 pound for pay de steamboat, and v6n I go into my logis I look de key of de door, and find it very not well. Aeli , mein Gott, I sa y , de robber call h ave all my money. Den I run'd out of do house to Leicester-square, to ax somebody vat I nose for a safe logis. V • en T met to de square two little not good lady i . corne to me atid say, Qh, dear gentlemans, you come vid me." " Loopna de Blixen," I say, "go away," and den dey run. 1 have fright for my money, so I feel and find it in my pocket not. Mr. CONANT put a good many questions to the com plainant, but his answers were so unintelligible that it was found necessary to send for an interpreter. The case turned out as above stated, but as the prisoner resolutely declared that she had never seen the complainant, and no money being found on her, the Magistrate remanded 1-pr kr a week. LAMBETH-STREET Yesterday Thomas' Prior, aged 65, a cook in the parish workhouse of St. Ann's, Liniehouse, who has been in cus tody far some days past, on a charge of administering poi sonous matter to a young female, an inmate of the work house, with a view of producing abortion, she having been pregnant by him, was brought before Mr. Combes and a county Magistrate, for final examination. The prisoner was fully committed to Ncwgate to take his trial at the ensuing sessions at the Central Criminal Court for the capital offence. After he had been removed from the bar it was stated to the Magistrates, in reply to a question put by them as to his being a religious man, that he was in the habit of going twice a-week, namely, Sunday and Thursday, to a Dissenting chapel in the vicinity of the workhouse, and was considered by the .congregation to be a most pious and moral character. UNION-HALL. Yesterday Ann Patine, the wife of a carpenter and builder, of Providence-street, Walwortb, was brought be fore Mr. WEDGwooD, charged with exercising great cruelty towards Jane, her daugnter, a delicate-looking young female, 14 years of age. The MAGISTRATE said that he should consider it his duty to call upon the mother to find security to keep the peace. The defendant's bail not being in attendance, she was locked up. THAMES-OFFICE. Yesterday, Thomas Douglas, a man of colour, the mate of the Victoria, a Belgian vessel now lying in the river, and Catherine Douglas, his wife, a native of Ireland, attended before Mr. BRODERIF, under very singular circumstances : Gaskin, a surveyor of the Thames Police, said that Mrs. Douglas appeared before Mr. Ballantine on Tuesday, on the charge of stealing two children, a boy and a girl, from the house of a watcrman named John Mann, in Ro therithe, whose wife said they had been left in her care by by the man Douglas. The children proved to be those of Douglas and his wife, who had been living apart for some time ; and it appeared that the mother had come all the way from Belgium for the purpose of finding her children, and hearing they were at Mann's house, took them away. Mr. Ballantine ordered the two children to be restored to Mrs. Mann, in whose care they had been left until the re turn of the husband in the steamer, and he had now at tended to give an explanation of the affair. He understood that the husband also wanted to deprive the mother of the child she held in her arms, which had not been weaned. Mr. BRODERIP said the infant was at the age of nur ture, and must not be taken from the mother. The father was of course entitled to the custody of his own children, and he could not prevent him taking them away from the mother. Gaskin had ascertained that Douglas had deserted his wife in Belgium, taken away her two children, and had been cohabiting with a female of bad character, at lodgings which he took for her in Providence-street, City-road. The object of the woman in coming to London was to obtain the two children, and bring them up under her own care. The husband, however, wished to deprive his wife of the oppor tunity of seeing her children. Gaskin said, from the inquiries he had made, he found the woman was a native of Ireland, and had been mar ried to Douglas for nine years ; she bore an excellent character. The woman here said her husband refused to maintain her, and she was in a very destitute condition. Douglas said he had good reasons for leaving 'his wife, and he had been allowing her 7s. a-week. The Wife-1 have not received it. He will not main tain me. Mr. BRODERIP—Then you had better apply to the parish officers, who will make him support you. The woman here asked if she was not to have her chil dren, and the man said he could obtain a good character on board the steamer. The MAGISTRATE could make no order, and the two children were again given over to Mr. and Mrs. Mann, the mother retaining the infant. CORONER'S INQUESTS. - On Thursday night an inquisition, which lasted about five hours, was taken before Mr. PAYNE, in the Board room of the workhouse of St. George's, Southwark, Mint street, Borough, on the body of Mary Anne Whitfield, six years old, who was alledged to have died from having had improper medicine administered to her. Sarah Elizabeth Whitfield, Walker-street, Delf-street, Kent-street, deposed that her husband was a musician, and that the deceased was their daughter. (In many parts of this witness's evidence she was so much overwhelmed by her feelings that she could speak with difficulty.) She stated that on the 22d ult. she called at Mr. Maise's and saw Mrs. Maise in the shop, to whom she related her child's situation. Mrs. Maise gave witness a pink powder, who gave it to the de ceased the same night. The next morning, as she had been very restless and suffered severely in the bowels, witness called about nine o'clock in the morning. She again saw Mrs. Maise, and told her that the child was worse. Mrs. Maise then went back, taking with her the jar, from which she gave witness the powder the pre vious day. She returned in a minute, and weighed some powder out of the jar. The quantity was enough to half fill a table spoon. Mrs. Bentham gave the deceased the powder, who became much worse. Witness again went the following day, when she saw Mr. Maise, who gave her three powders from the seine jar, one to be given every day. Witness then told him that she bad already received two powders from Mrs. Maise, and observed that her child was . very bad. Mr. Maise remarked that between six and seven years was a very awkward time to have the measles, and that they left many diseases behind. The powders were not near so large as those she received from Mrs. Maise, which was enough to make the whole three. After taking them, the child cried most violently with pain. On Sunday its thee began to swell very much, when, as the swelling continued to increase, witness on Tuesday went again to Mr. Maise, taking with her the child, which Mr. Maise set on the counter, and examined its mouth, into which he put his finger, and drew out some corrupted fluid. He then observed that the child was in a very dangerous state, and asked her it' she could afford to pay for medicine. Slie replied that she was a poor woman, that she lied already paid for her medicine, and that she could not afford to pay high. He then remarked that she had better take the child to the hospital, where it would have proper care and atten dance. Witness then tried to get a letter for the dispen sary in Union-street. She made five different applications, but was unsuccessful in each. She next called on the over seer of the parish for an order, which she obtained that day, and on the following morning she attended on Mr. Evans, the surgeon to the parish. She saw the two assistants, who, upon seeing the child, remarked that it lied been sali vated. They gave her a powder, which was not like the former, and told her to bathe the child's face in warm water. Mr. Evans subsequentiv#saw the child, and approved of what his assistant had done. He ordered powders to be given three times a day, and sonic medicine also to be given three times a day. The poor infant did not get better, and a black spot came on the corner of its mouth which in creased to the size of a crown piece, after which it began to cat the flesh away clear from the bone. The child died in the greatest agony at eleven o'clock on Monday night. A few hours before her death she tore herself in the most frightful manner. By the CORONER—She was very much relaxed. She could not take the least food on account of her mouhtiehh;%)v.aest she had an appetite. She had no lower j aw, w completely eaten away. CORONER—In what state were her teeth ? Witness— . I.,:fty every one came out. (The witness produced a tin bag which were ten teeth of thsedr ceased.) (r e coil to the parish, said Mr. fv . :'..ns , Bla ckman-s t et c hild , u 'the mouth was much that when he i n i.7 4 sa7its d an gerous state. The gums swollen. It was in a •"• Y were loose, and saliva were also much swollen, the - e s. i, From u malignity of the was running from the mouth. disease it went on very and rap idly, lestroye,l both cheeks. The child died in consequence of the mortificatio:: Qf the cheeks. Witness cannot positively state the By the Coroncr—Wi cause of the mouth being in the state it was, as it might arise from nat ural or artificial causes. At. fi rs t h e th oug ht it arose from a course of salivation, but upon reflection he had his doubt of that. If the child had been cutting its teeth there would have been no difficulty. He did not discover any symptoms of measlu, and is of opinion that the deceased was suffering from scarletina. He imagines this because the' constitution is more broken down from scarletina than the measles, and as this complaint is usually accompanied with putrid sore throat, and poor people often mistake the measles for scarletina ' as do also medical men. Mr. Maise said th at w h en M rs : Maise came to him on the Tuesday, while he was shaving, he directed her to give a scruple out of the bottle she brought. The powders were composed of jalap and sulphur of potash, cochineal being used to give it. a Pink colour. It is an aperie nt p owder. Half a t a ble-spoonful would cause a violent purging. The Jury, without leaving the inquest-room, after a short consideration, offered the following as their verdict : " That the child has lost its life in consequence of too great a quantity of medicine having been administered ; and they wish to notice that they hope Mr. Maise will be mot .7e eau. finis in future who he leaves in his shop." Tile Coroner observed that the question is, shonit 1 Mr. Maisc be held responsible for allowing Mrs. Maise to serve his medicines ? Upon this point he would request their further attention, namely, how far by their verdict they meant to implicate any party. Tie Jury retired, and in an hour's time tLey returned a verd'et :—" That the death of the deceased was the effect of tocident, and they wish to express a strong censure against the practice of allowing persons to seLl medicines who are not qualified." The Coroner concurred in the verdict. SUDDEN DEATH. —Yesterday evening an inqwest was held at the Fountain Tavern, Amwell-street, Pentonville, before Mr. Stirling and a respectable jury, on the bydy of Mr. Samuei Noon, aged 43. The deceased reside, with his family at No. 27, Amwell street. On Wednesday evening he was in his usual beak." and spirits, and had taken a walk with some of his children. After supper the unfortunate gentleman was sitting with Mrs. Noon, and was conversing - with her, when he was sud denly taken alarmingly ill—one of the servants was des patched immediately for Mr. Ramsbottom, a surgeon, re siding in the neighbourhood, who promptl7 attended, and found the deceased in an almost dying state. but still sen sible —and collected. He (deceased) observed to Mr. Ramsbottom " that he knew he was going to a nother and bettee wo r ld ; t h a t hi s time was come, and that it w'as use less to attempt to benefit him." A few minutes afterwards, notwithstanding every effort on the part of Mr. Raosbot torn to prevent fatal results, the deceased breathed his last. Mr. Ramsbottom gave it as his decided opinion that the death of the deceased was perfectly natural, occasioned by the rupture of a vessel in the region of the heart. The deceased had enjoyed perfect health up to the time of his sudden demise. Verdict—" Died by the visitation of God." The deceased has left a widow and large family to la ment his loss. ST. PAUL, COVENT-GARDEN. A Vestry was summoned last evening in this parish, w impose a Church -rate. The Rev. Mr. BOWERS was in the Chair. Mr. CRIBB, in moving a resolution, that a penny rate should be levied, said it was under peculiar circumstances, and to discharge the arrears of a debt contracted by the parish forty years ago ; and, strictly speaking, it was not a church-rate. Mr. DAWSON said the money was raised to rebuild the church, and for the accommodation of those who subscribed to her tenets, and therefore these were the parties who reaped the whole benefit of the building, and consequently those who in common equity should defray all the expenses of the same. Besides, there were sufficient funds, when collected, to meet all demands, and he moved as an amend ment that " there were sufficient funds in hand without any rate." He entered into a long statement of figures. A stormy discussion ensued.
